NBC picks up U. S. version of "Who Do You Think You Are"

As reported in the Guardian, NBC is to make a US version of the hit BBC genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, which will be co-executive produced by Friends star Lisa Kudrow.Producers are researching the family trees of several interested candidates to see if they have compelling enough backgrounds. The news was also reported on Kimberly's Genealogy Blog on About.com, and we can all pretty much echo her sentiments, "I applaud this opportunity to introduce more people to the fascination and excitement of genealogy research, although I can only hope that the producers temper the sensationalism with good, solid genealogical research."
